i'm the spice are welcome to the program and we begin with breaking news from ukraine. we're 25 people have reportedly been killed in the east of the country in the russian occupied city of dun yeske. the kremlin installed authorities plan ukrainian forces for selling a busy area with many shops in the market. there has been no immediate comment from the government in keys. dw correspondent nick connelly in keith gave us this update earlier. so we have seen from sources from rushing up to but the final thoughts are there and, and yet they are talking of the 20 plus casualties and assume the number wounded. we are not able to verify those numbers. as you mentioned that there hasn't been any comment yet from the ukraine inside. it has to be said that this is pretty unusual if it were to work out in terms of the numbers when it full, the fact that it is basically on the front lines that has been so since for 14
5:02 pm
seems relatively light civilian casualties, special competitive grants, just like car and the pro, this seems to be of being in a market on the west and sun city. so to was those front lines and that right now there are the groups and pictures during the rounds on social media. so the expectation is that we'll know that more than the outcome ok make, i want you to stay with us. but there was another incident i'd like to talk about in russia. i suspect the ukrainian drone attack has caused a fire at an oil storage depot in the baltic sea, the terminal owners that the blaze was caused by what they called external influence. and that some operations had been suspended. the port is located just outside of st. petersburg ukraine and claimed responsibility for 2 separate attacks on russian oil depos earlier this week. and we will go back now to nick connelly, standing by and key force. what do you know about the suspected?
5:03 pm
you craning drone attacks inside russia, which this, this could be a part i suppose of the we already have had a ukrainian special service source is quoted in the press here taking results visit . that's like the same as an official kind of hands up. but certainly that is the belief you thank you. i think these targets have a long being on that list. if you look at what russia has done to ukraine, in terms of closing off, we're trying to close of the black sea, destroying the terminals need to few crane to explore it's grain. and that by we can cranes economy its ability to pay for some of the tree. i think it's been clear for a long time that the cranes would tries do the same thing. and it's kind of protecting fulton, given fence rushes, exports of oil and gas by pipelines have basically been very haunted by sections but the export by sea of boil. but also of a gas that has be like flight that is still going and is crucial to the criminal finances. so that certainly has long been something that you kind of try to do. and it does seem like this was more successful than previous attacks. you're seeing
5:04 pm
attacks when maybe a 5 was very localized, you'd have one reservoir, a fuel burning, but people more or less working in power though a few 100 meters wait. that definitely doesn't seem to be the case based on the images on social media. we're seeing from that since, you know, still go and, and what strikes me, nick is just how far this is inside russian territory. it's a 1000 kilometers away from to you to go to, to st. petersburg. and what does that tell us? i know it's early days about ukraine's ability is if it constructs so deep inside russia, that certainly also has been something that's been worked on a lot, something that was clear to the ukraine side would have to happen. attracting places alone, ukraine's frontier is, is comparatively easy, but it is also less politically dangerous, the criminal. but reminding russians as far away as pittsburgh is, you said, almost a 1000 comments away from ukrainian church street that they are living in the woods . and that is something that is going to be crucial for me to create a perspective for changing the mood and russia to get people could start with. this
5:05 pm
is something that could damage then. and that isn't just some kind of colonial war somewhere far away. but also in terms of about attempting to slow down versus one machine, if you cranes on your pricing and that kind of 100 some to strip it on its borders, then that doesn't really make much of any of an impacts. but most of versus infrastructure. it's economy isn't that european part of the country that it is within about a 1000 kilometers of ukraine. so certainly this makes a big difference. and there have been huge fundraising drives by ukrainian volunteers to try and come up with new tongues that okay, for making that kind of distance. and it seems potentially that this is what okay. nick connelly reporting for us from keith. thanks so much for those insights and it's time now for look at some of the other stories making news around the world. congress president said it's just a katie has been sworn in for a 2nd term after chaotic and contest of elections. just acadia and his party won the vote by a landslide, but polling was marked by fraud allegations and logistical disruptions.

by from us on october. the 7th. a mass of course is classified as the terrace organization by multiple countries. earlier we spoke to be on a she is an american is really living in tel aviv 2 members of her family were killed in the october 7 attacks. 3 others were taken hostage, 2 were released, but one is still held hostage in gas. and she told us more about what happened to her family. yes, i'm interested in um, in the middle of the chaos we understood from family text messages on what top that, or are generally was hearing the fire. and airbag and people being killed around them. and that they were scared for their lives. and later that evening, when the military finally got to your office to keep up in which they lived, there were 5 family members who were unaccounted for. and our are working assumption was that they were missing or been taken hostage on october 8th. we had
5:09 pm
to do a confirmation of my cousins, son in the hands of him, off it was a video to come, us, indeed, uploaded. and so then we, we went to really what the, the notion that they haven't taken hostage tended into the war. we got confirmation that 2 of the bodies had been found not on the keyboards. and that my 8 year old cousin carmella down and her 13 grand daughter has been murdered by from us and 52 days into the washer dryer, and it kind of big exchange of prisoners for hostages. my husbands, 2 children, 12 year old areas and 16 year old times, but their father of there was $53.00 remains on day $107.00 and a category. okay, well thank you for sharing that store. i know it must be incredibly painful to, to keep keep reliving it. um uh, just as regards the freeing of the hostages and the pressure that's coming along onto the government and these big demonstrations we were just reporting on. do you think that the government is going about freeing them in the right way?
5:10 pm
does there need to be a change in policy somehow? i think that there are some sort of split in. we're kind of people who believe that the hostages should be the 1st priority, and people who believe that the right occasion to come out should be the 1st theory . i think i as a member of a hostage family as someone who lives in his wrong breeding hostages home has to be the 1st period. there is no waiting. there's no success, which i don't think there's winning in the situation any way. but there's no way for, for israel without the release, every single one of the hostages, a lie that day. and as regards the, probably the protest and the hostage families, i was reporting myself recently in israel, and these have families are in emerging political force that the government can't really ignore. do you think they're going to be able to have an effect on, on government policy as i continued to demonstrate?
5:11 pm
i have so, i mean, we're, we're after a year of protesting in this country with regard to the usual forum. and i think in the aftermath of october 7th, we saw a lot of unity with which hadn't been the case. and i think now we're seeing this split again, which is these families are saying you have to punch the hostages. you have to have family members 1st and, and the call for that yahoo does not reside. and for elections. i see it as, as early as were in one of our hardest moments because we as a country lot piece, we want a 2 state solution. we want to live next to a path to me and they that is being run by a government to acknowledges is almost ready to exist. and the main challenge of that is that we don't have a partner at that table. that was of the, on one of our family members is still being held hostage in guys us as the desktop and the warrant as a has passed another cruise and threshold more than 25000 people have been killed
